BYU wide receiver Chase Roberts continues to earn national recognition as Pro Football Focus (PFF) has named him one of the top 10 wide receivers eligible for the 2026 NFL Draft. This accolade places Roberts among elite company and highlights the progress he’s made throughout his collegiate career in Provo.
Roberts, known for his reliable hands, precise route running, and physicality, has been a consistent playmaker for the Cougars. During the 2024 season, he led BYU in receiving yards and touchdowns, becoming a go-to target in crucial situations. His ability to make contested catches and produce after the catch has caught the attention of NFL scouts and analysts alike.
PFF’s ranking is based on advanced metrics, game film, and projected potential at the professional level. Roberts scored high in contested catch percentage and route separation, two key traits that translate well to the NFL. At 6-foot-4 and around 210 pounds, he possesses the ideal size for a pro wideout and has steadily improved his speed and agility to become a more dynamic downfield threat.
This recognition boosts not only Roberts’ individual draft stock but also shines a spotlight on BYU’s ability to develop NFL-caliber talent. With another strong season in 2025, Roberts could solidify himself as a first-round candidate, especially if he continues to build chemistry with the Cougars’ quarterback and puts up big numbers against Power Five competition.
For BYU fans, the acknowledgment from PFF is validation of what they’ve seen on the field — a rising star with the tools to succeed at the next level. As the 2026 NFL Draft approaches, all eyes will be on Chase Roberts as he looks to cement his place among the nation’s best wide rec
eivers.
